no better experience than playing - the true teacher!

I agree with you 100%. Books put thoughts in your head, but they really don't teach you the techniques. It's the playing itself. You gotta play to get better, no book can do it.

edit:: Books give you the idea what you should do, you just need to play so you can do it, this is what I meant [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Where's the "thinking about the game" option?

Re: What has Helped You the Most?
 

When I had just started playing poker I watched Howard Lederers secrets of no-limit holdem which thought me all the important things like what cards to play/hand rankings the imortance of position and much more.

I learned alot from that.
Other then that you I have learned alot on 2+2 and by playing, I think there's alot to internet poker that can't be learned by reading.

Re: What has Helped You the Most?
 

i was thinking about asking a similar question to this. my question was going to be what do you think is the ideal way to improve your game through a combination of playing and studying? For example if you had 6 months to improve your game as much as possible, what percentage of the time would you play, and what percentage would you study (books, two plus two, general thinking of the game). I think most people would give a higher percentage to playing, but I think it's closer to 50/50.

How about you, Skipper? I chose playing and 2+2.

I think we're two of the more senile partners around here - I would also note that for SNG's, there's not much out there in print, at least that I'm aware of......
